Trip Snapshots 2

| Some scenes from daily life in a small town in a rural Cambodian province. |
 The national school uniform for Cambodia is a white shirt and a navy blue skirt for girls and blue shorts for boys. Here a couple girls rest at a market stall on their way home for lunch on their bicycle. |
 Toys are hard to come by in Cambodia except for the children of high-level government officials. Children are quite ingenious in making their own. Here a boy uses four old tin cans for wheels and bamboo slivers for axles, putting them together to make a car he can pull along the dusty road. |
 Bicycles are main means of transportation outside of the cities where small motorcycles reign. Here a young mother returns from the market with her baby on the rack in back, firmly grasping her shirt. No seat belts or child car seats here! |
 It's lunch time and a wife and a visitor start putting together the makings of meal of rice and chicken. All the vegetables were bought from a hawker with a bicycle loaded with produce; nothing is refrigerated. |
